Collection Management and E-Resources Standing Committee Charge: Recommend which e‐resources will be licensed for all college and university libraries.

Recommend more permanent committees and task forces necessary to analyze and build joint FCS/SUS library collections. Coordinate with relevant FLVC staff and other committees and report to the Executive Committee.

2016 Shared Collection Changes Flat Budget = $7.09 million* * includes a third year of one-time funding from FLVC Previous assumptions that we have to work toward one collection (or some sort of 60/40 or 50/50 split) appear to be disbanded - at least for now Included changes which would lower the total number of databases licensed by FLVC, but designed to give all campuses an undergraduate collection with more full- text resources and core indexing. Small losses in specific subject area content.
